🌍♀️#ArtIsAWeapon Happy #InternationalWomensDay #Artist: Lubaina Himid @lubainapics "Act One, No Maps 1992" Reposted from @tate Happy International Women's Day! 💙 We're excited to announce that Lubaina Himid's bright and bold Tate Modern exhibition has been extended until October. 🎉 Himid's compositions are often borrowed from historic paintings, but instead she positions the women in them as decision-makers who, she says, ‘are working out complicated futures together.’ In some of her paintings from the 1990s women are ripping up maps and navigation charts. They are seeking new, fairer methods of moving through landscape, life and conflict. Himid says the women in her paintings 'have several strategies, they expand to fit the situation. The women take revenge; their revenge is that they are still here, they are still artists, that their creativity is still political and committed to change, to change for the good.' Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all women who are committed to change for the good. 💙 #LubainaHimid @LubainaPics, Act One, No Maps 1992, on display in the artist's joyful exhibition at Tate Modern. #BlackGirlArtGeeks #WomensEquality #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenChangemakers #WomenLeaders #BlackWomenLead #WomenCreatives #WomenCulturalWorkers #WillTravelForArt #TraScapades https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca23UutPmYF/?utm_medium=tumblr
